looking easterly approaching the Route 201-South junction. I find
it amazing how well built so many rural Quebec intersections are.
Especially considering that these large intersections are controlled by
a 4-way-stop.

Prioritized
bus lanes are common place in Metro Montreal. This diamond lane
speeds busses around morning congestion. Route 132/138 is the only
logical route from southwestern Quebec into Montreal.

There
is no merge lane for traffic entering the bridge from R-132.
During rush hour traffic is controlled by traffic signals. In
off-peak times each approach is reduced to a single lane for freeflow
merging.

The
Mercier Bridge is comprised of two sets of twinned overhead through
truss bridges. The west bridge was completed in 1934, while the
newer eastern span was added to address congestion problems in the
1960s.
